Thank you so much for your Christmas card. I hope you have had a joyful Christmas season.

We have not spoken for some weeks, and I hope you have been managing to make progress with your studies. You may be a little distance from us here in Portsmouth, but rest assured that you are in our prayers, and we really are concerned that we do all we can to help you with your endeavours.

If you are going to the special service in London for the persecuted Egyptian Church on 29th, there will be some of us there, and it would be good to meet up with you.
